Hello LM-Netters:
My principal received an email from Patronbooks.com; part of the letter read as
follows:
Patronbooks.com is a new online bookstore that is dedicated to assisting school
libraries with their fundraising activities. We carry over one million titles, from
Pulitzer prize winning biographies to the latest illustrated children’s books and
ship directly from our state-of-the-art distribution centers to our customer’s
homes or offices.
Our fundraising model is simple - we sell all of our books at list price, but we
allocate 20% of every book purchase to support school libraries and related
programs. Each customer is asked to designate a school that they support when they
create an account and 20% of every purchase they make is earmarked for that school.
If your parents, staff, teachers, alumni and supporters purchase their books from
patronbooks.com your school could raise a significant sum of money to purchase new
books or expand library services.
If a school is registered with us as a Patron Partner, we remit their school
contribution on a quarterly basis. (If they are not registered, we send the money
every six months). School registration is an easy, no obligation, no cost and no
commitment process.
Does anyone have any experience with Patronbooks? Could you share with me what you
think? Feel free to reply off list to tljeffrey@comcast.net or
terri.jeffrey@sno.wednet.edu.
Thanks for your help.
